Argentina – Tests: Marquez imperial, the French in Q2

• As in the morning, the Marquez brothers begin the tests for the Argentine Grand Prix MotoGP in the best possible way, locking out the top two positions on the scoreboard. Unlike this morning, the track is completely dry, and the times are falling quickly.
• The beginning of the session was marked by the frustration of fabio quartararo following a mechanical failure on his machine. The Frenchman lost time before returning to the track.
• The other Frenchman on the grid, Johann Zarco, also had a disappointing start to the session. The Cannes driver crashed at Turn 2 while defending a solid top-10 finish.

• Having been quiet since the start of the day, Pecco Bagnaia struggled to break into the top 10. With ten minutes remaining, the Marquez brothers were no longer in the lead, but were comfortably positioned at the front. Instead, Marco Bezzecchi set a best time of 1:37.4.
• Promoted to sixth place in the final moments, Pecco Bagnaia also fell victim to the difficulties posed by Turn 2 and crashed. He will not return to the track. However, his time was enough to maintain tenth place. He will therefore not have to go through Q1 tomorrow.
• At the very end of the session, the Marquez brothers reasserted their dominance. Marc finished the test ahead of everyone else, but Fabio Di Giannantonio prevented them from securing a one-two finish. Marco Bezzecchi and Brad Binder completed the top five.
• Despite his crash, Johann Zarco returned to the track and set a respectable seventh fastest time. Fabio Quartararo also qualified directly for Q2, setting the eighth fastest time in practice.
